The city of Niteroi close to Rio is worth a visit if you got the time, if not for its beaches, than at least for the Museum of Modern Art, (the flying soucer to the right):
Laying just on the opposite side of the bay from Rio, Niteroi offers one of the most amazing views of Rio's landscape, here from the Museum of Modern Art:
Being a univercity city, Niteroi is full of young people and life, who regularly take a dip or go surfing between classes:
To avoid the crowds and the turists, we went to a far (actually further away than we thought) beach, called Itacoatiara, an off the beaten track beach between huge rocks and vegetation:
We spent a relaxed day on this beach:
feeling very welcome regardless of us being probably the only gringos around and regardless the fact that unlike my brother-in-law, I did not join the Brazilian football team for beating the Argentineans :-)
I decided to enjoy the view instead:
At the end of this day, upon returning by ferry to Rio, nature offerred us a great surpise: one of the most amazing sunsets we have ever seen, with Rio' magnificent landscape revealing itself in a new light...
